Seriously I read that bug report and I would say the same thing to OP... especially since the issue was largely a duplicate of an already existing issue. He also was hardly lectured. Also not sure why he feels the constant need to bring up

You've managed to say a lot without really saying anything. You make plenty of baseless assumptions about my background and ambitions... but I'm not even going to try to address my professional experience (or lack thereof) because

Meh... they could have rewritten the site from the ground up, including any sort of data migration, multiple times over by now. I have never worked there, but outside looking in, it seems like there is a significant lack of technical vision

To offer a counter-experience, I don't remember the last time I actually HAD the "click once" captcha. It's always "click the buses/traffic lights/store fronts" etc.

They sell cases with heatsinks and fans for $10-$20. I would just recommend buying one of those versus modding one like the guy in the article did.

Of course. All it requires is some naive (usually older) family members. In this case, my in-laws are in their 70s, and extremely right-wing. They would share stuff from the Nation in Distress group all the time before Facebook banned it. T

Not sure about threats, but I've seen plenty of fake news, conspiracies, etc; many of which have been tied to Russian disinformation groups (or other malignant foreign interests). See the Nation in Distress group; https://ww

Unfortunately I believe your myopic viewpoint is exactly what Facebook has driven to create.

To offer an alternate experience, I use DDG for nearly everything and have for many months. I have very few issues with it. For the more esoteric searches, I do find Google to be slightly better, but for 99% of my everyday browsing, I have

This is true to my experience as well, although I'm still a loyal Vanguard customer. I actually got dubious tax advice from a Vanguard rep that could have screwed me if I didn't do a bit more research. That being said, I do tend t

The term "not-for-profit" is almost meaningless here. They are not a charitable organization or advocating the social cause of "helping people invest". Vanguard makes profit. They probably make a crap-ton of profit. In f

While you are technically correct, that's pedantic and doesn't impact the conclusions of this article one bit, nor does it really add to the discussion. It's written for the layman, and chose to purposefully ignore technical
